Please read these first!
This is a job board where you can post Ubuntu Women tasks you'd like help with or look for places to pitch in. You can post technical or nontechnical tasks, anything from writing to emails to testing to coding to design to art to (your idea here). We prefer that you post specific tasks you'd like done or projects you'd like people to start on.
Notes for project coordinator
We want to encourage accountability and personal connections between Ubuntu Women members, so all tasks and projects must have a project coordinator. Being a project coordinator means you're willing to take on ultimate responsibility for a task getting done - finding people, making sure they have the training and resources they need, encouraging and checking in with them once in a while, and so forth. The level of project coordination you're willing to provide can vary from "send them an email asking for updates every month" to "phone call every Tuesday to discuss the new graphics" - just make sure you set expectations at the beginning of a project!
Note that you don't necessarily need to know how to do a task when you start in order to be a project coordinator on it it. As long as you can find or contact appropriate resources for getting the job done - in other words, be a true manager to the people helping out. If you have something in mind but know someone else that might make a better project coordinator for it, you can ask them to coordinate the project or even co-coordinate with you.
How to start a project
If you have a project you'd like to coordinate, go ahead and post it. If you see a project with a project coordinator you'd like to work for, email them a short proposal. Things you might include are your experience, what you have in mind for getting the task done, what kind of help you're looking for, and why you'd like to do this. If they accept, move your project to the Active list and update the wiki, and get started!
How to finish a project
If the task is completed, hurrah! Remove it from the list (place it in the "completed" section if you want to archive) and congratulate yourselves for a job well done.
If you're unable to finish a task, we understand. Please let your project coordinator or protege know so they can plan accordingly, and move the project off the Active list so someone else can have a turn.
Housecleaning
We'll try to keep a high signal to noise ratio here. If a project goes unclaimed or non-updated for more than a month, we may email you and ask whether you're planning to continue, and houseclean accordingly.
